king of defenders

Chapter 827 Double Star Explosion, Dragon Slaying at Home

Miami, American Airlines Arena.

Today is the Heat's home game against the Raptors. The Raptors have a good record this season and are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

Players on both sides were warming up, the Raptors looked very excited, they took turns dunking, and even Lowry dunked one.

"Looks like the Raptors have a lot of fighting spirit."

"Hmph, it's not that I saw Whiteside was injured, I feel that our side lacks a starting center, and our strength has declined, so we want to take advantage of it."

"But the Raptors are not weak. Is the Heat really okay? Who will replace Whiteside, Nene or Sullinger?"

Some fans are talking.

Amidst the discussion, both sides finished their warm-up and returned to the sidelines.

Spoelstra named: "Nene, wait for you to start and replace Whiteside. Your task is to defend and protect the rebound."

"Yes." Nei Nei replied.

Then Spoelstra spread out the tactical board, while drawing the tactics, while arranging: "Whiteside is injured, and Nene will start in the future, but Nene will have some problems in cooperating with others, so we Some tactics also need to be changed. Don’t play too complicated, keep it simple.”

"in addition."

"Meng Yun, Wade. The Raptors have Ibaka and Valanciunas inside, and they are not weak. Now that Whiteside is missing, the pressure on your outside will be even greater."

Hearing this, Meng Yun and Wade nodded in unison, indicating that there is no problem.

Meng Yun has already prepared for this point, and the starting lineup will inevitably be adjusted. The most important thing is the adjustment of tactics. The system that has been established for a long time has problems due to the lack of a link, so he can only give up some tactical cooperation and play simpler. This requires him and Wade to score more points through singles.

In other words, the courage that fell on them became heavier.

Moments later, the game begins.

The Raptors are very targeted. They played against the Heat's inside line from the very beginning. Nene's current competitive state is not as good as it was back then. Both offense and defense have dropped a lot. They accounted for less than half of Valanciunas. Cheap.

Things happened as Spoelstra expected, Meng Yun and Wade exchanged a look, Meng Yun broke out first, advanced to the frontcourt and made a gesture.

Nene stepped forward to pick and roll, Meng Yun quickly threw away the defender, headed to the inside, the Raptors shrunk, Valanciunas rushed forward to defend, Meng Yun squinted his eyes, and jumped towards Valanciunas, Dodged in the air, then scored with a low layup.

"nice shot."

The home fans applauded and cheered loudly.

And this is just the beginning. Meng Yun began to break through frequently. Scoring is one purpose, and another purpose is to attack the opponent's inside line and cause damage. This is also a way to suppress the opponent's inside line advantage.

"Pull away."

Meng Yun stood on the three-point line, Lowry opened his hands to block the front, and the others pulled away. Meng Yun stepped out with his right foot, made a tentative step, then quickly retracted, started, and broke through from the left.

Lowry quickly moved sideways and got stuck first, but Meng Yun's reaction was even faster, without the slightest pause, and he changed direction instantly. The ball was handed over from his left hand to his right, and the speed was still astonishingly fast. With the basketball flashing past Lowry, he once again rushed to the inside of the Raptors.

"Looking for death." Valanciunas was furious, growled, and jumped up, "Do you really think I'm transparent when I rush in for layups again and again?"

"And me." Ibaka also rushed over.

The two stood on the left and the right, like a human wall, completely blocking the space.

Meng Yun vacated his body and exerted strength in the midair. He suddenly paused. He didn't want to play the time difference. Facing the all-round blocking of two inside players, it was useless to play the time difference. Ibakabi Valanciuna After taking off, Meng Yun may not be able to avoid Ibaka even if he avoids Valanciunas with his super high-altitude.

But Meng Yun didn't want to make a layup, he had other options - such as passing the ball!
I saw Meng Yun's body soaring into the air, lingering in the air, grabbing the basketball with his left hand and reaching out, not towards the basket, but through the gap between the bodies of Valanciunas and Ibaka, with a flick of his wrist , in the astonished eyes of Valanciunas and Ibaka, the basketball passed between them.

Bang!
Then there was a loud bang, Ne Nei hung the frame with both hands, and his braids were dancing.

"nice shot."

"Beautiful pass, it's all passable."

The fans are cheering.

This is a beautiful cooperation. Meng Yun's wonderful pass is the most amazing. He actually caught the fleeting opportunity when he was almost blocked, and he was very courageous.

There is no doubt that this is a beautiful goal, and it can be selected as one of the top ten goals. Meng Yun's wonderful pass and Nene's dunk are pleasing to the eye.

"Prevent him." The Raptors coach roared at the field: "Team!"

Meng Yun's breakthrough threat is too great, and he cannot be allowed to break through like this, because once he breaks through, the Raptors' defensive system will face collapse. All a disaster.

But one-on-one, Lowry couldn't prevent Meng Yun's breakthrough, so he had to double-team.

The Raptors began to double-team and successfully restricted Meng Yun's breakthrough, but then Wade took over the torch in Meng Yun's hand, hitting the Raptors' basket in full swing, scoring basketballs again and again.

The twin stars are shining, and the heat is burning!
After the end of the three quarters, the Heat have led by 14 points. Under the leadership of Meng Yun and Wade, the Heat have shown terrifying strength, even if the Raptors have the inside combination of Valanciunas + Ibaka, even if the They also have an All-Star guard combination like Lowry + DeRozan on the outside, but they are still not the Heat's opponents.

In just three quarters, Meng Yun scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists. Wade scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. The two scored 54 points together, stunning the audience.

"The Raptors may be thinking wrong."

"It should be said that many people are wrong, thinking that Whiteside's injury will inevitably reduce the strength of the Heat, but this is not the case. The soul of the Heat is Meng and Wade, not Whiteside."

The fans are sighing, not that Whiteside is not good, but that Meng Yun and Wade are too good, and the explosion of the two is enough to make up for the lack of Whiteside. As long as they are still there, the Heat are still strong.

The Raptors are now ranked third in the Northeast, and their strength is not weak.

In fact, if the strength is not strong, Whiteside's injury does not mean much to them. Only teams close to the Heat's strength can seize the opportunity of Whiteside's injury and beat the Heat.

But they were wrong, and so were the Raptors.

They found out sadly that even if Whiteside is injured, they are still not the Heat's opponents!
